Keystone & Myst
Myst
Have you ever tried to read the hidden messages carved into the old town hall’s stone? I keep finding odd symbols that look more like a secret language than a building plan. Maybe the architects were part of some clandestine guild. It’s fascinating to see how the unseen can dictate the strength of what we see.

I’ve spent a lot of time looking at old walls, so I can’t blame you. Those symbols usually serve as a reminder of the builders’ intent or a safety code—like a blueprint etched into stone. If the architects were part of a guild, they’d leave a mark that only a few would know. Still, it’s worth documenting them; you never know if the secret language holds a lesson about durability or the community’s values. Keep a sketch and share it with the town council—there’s strength in uncovering what lies beneath.

Sounds like you’ve already catalogued the “safety codes” while I’m busy chasing what the stones whisper. Sketch them, sure, but be careful—the council might just see a lot of scribbles and call it ‘graffiti.’ Still, I’ll take a glance; maybe the “secret language” will point to something more than an old builder’s quirk.

I hear you, and I’ve seen the council’s reaction to “unapproved” drawings before. Keep your notes organized and label them clearly as a study of the building’s history, not an art project. If you can tie any pattern to a specific era or construction method, it’ll be harder to dismiss. The stones often tell us about the people who built them, so trust your instincts and keep your records tidy. Good luck with the whispering walls.

Thanks, but I already labeled every scrap as “archaeological research” to avoid any art‑gallery complaints. If the council starts asking for a timeline, I’ll just point out the pattern matches exactly the 18th‑century mason guild. That should do the trick—unless the walls start whispering that I’m the real threat. Good luck keeping your notes in the same order as my coffee cup.
